PACKAGE FOR HAIR-NETS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1918.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY GROSSMANN, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages for Hair- Nets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to packages or containers for hair nets, and has for its object to provide a convenient, inexpensive and neat folder in which hair nets and hair pins for fastening them in place may be advantageously sold, thus providing the purchasers with all they need for using the nets and relieving them from the necessity of making separate purchases to obtain the hair pins, as has heretofore been the case. Another object is to simplify the construction or formation of the folder so as to reduce the amount of material and the extent of the gummed portions required to a minimum.

The invention will be first hereinafter described in connection with the accompanying drawings, which constitute part of this specification, and then more specifically defined in the claims at the end of the description.

In the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters are used to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a plan View of a blank from which the folder or container is made.

Fig. 2 is a broken inside plan view of the folder as completely formed, showing a net inclosing envelop and a plurality of hair pins arranged in the two pockets therein.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line IIIIII of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the container in closed position, the section being taken through the pocket containing the hair pins, and

Fig. 5 is a section on the line V-V of Fig 2.

The folder may be made of paper or other suitable inexpensive material, and comprises a rear leaf 1, a front leaf 2 attached thereto along the fold line 8, a fastening flap 4 at the opposite edge of the front leaf 2 and attached thereto along the fold line 5, and pocket forming portions 6, 8, 10 and 12. The pocket forming portion 6 extends the full width of the leaf 1 and is attached thereto along its lower edge along the fold line 7. The pocket forming portion 10 is in the form of a wing extending to the right of the rear leaf 1, being connected thereto along the fold line 11 which registers with the right hand edge of the leaf 1. The pocket forming portion 12 is in the form of a wing extending to the left of the leaf 1 and is attached thereto by the fold line 13 which {egfisters with the left hand edge of said As best illustrated in Fig. 2, the pockets are formed by first folding in the portions 10 and 12 on the fold lines 11 and 13, respectively, after which the portion 6 is folded up along the line 7 so as to overlap said portions 10 and 12. A flap 8 is arranged along the free edge of the portion 6, being connected thereto along the fold line 9. This flap 8 is inserted between the upper edges of the folded portions 10 and 12 and the leaf 1 and serves to retain the portions 6, 10 and 12 in folded position.

The space thus inclosecl is divided into two pockets by means of the gummed edge 15 of the portion 12 being secured to the leaf 1, when folded, as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 5. A small pocket 16, is thus formed at the left of the gummed edge 15 to hold a plurality of hair pins 17, while a large pocket 18 is formed at the right of said gummed edge 15 for holding an envelop 19 containing a hair net. The upper corner of the portion 12 is cut away at 14, and the gummed edge 15 terminates at the bottom of said cut away portion or notch. This construction leaves the upper edge of the portion 12 free to receive the flap 8, the depth of the notch being equal to or greater than the width of this flap. The securing of the gummed edge 15 to the leaf 1 not only separates the pockets 16 and 18 but also aids materially in retaining the portions 6 and 10, as well as the portion 12, in folded position. At the same time, said gummed edge is very short, so that the cost of manufacture is small and the blank shown in Fig. 1 may be quickly converted into the container, ready for use, illustrated in Fig. 2.

After the hair pins 17 and net containing envelop 19 are placed in the pockets 16 and 18, respectively, the leaf 2 is folded down along the line 3 so as to cover the pockets and the portions of their contents which protrude therefrom. The leaf 2 is retained in this folded position by the fastening flap 4: embracing the bottom edge of the leaf 1, as shown in Fig. 4c.

Having thus described my invention What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a folder for hair nets, the combination with a leaf, of lateral wings attached thereto, an extension at the lower edge of the leaf, a flap at the free edge of the extension to engage the upper edges of the wings when folded upon the leaf, one of said wings having the lower portion of its free edge secured to the leaf for dividing the space inclosed by said wings and extension into separate pockets, the upper edge portion of said wing being free from the leaf to permit the flap to be inserted between said upper edge portion and the leaf.

2. In a folder for hair nets, the combination with a leaf, of lateral wings attached to said leaf, an extension at the lower edge of the leaf, a flap at the free edge of the extension to engage the upper edges of the wings when folded upon the leaf, one of said wings having a notch in its upper edge to receive the flap, and means for securing the portion of the free edge of said Wing below the notch to the leaf for dividing the space inclosed 'by said wings and extension into separate pockets.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

HENRY GROSSMANN.
